Cole and Chuck attempt to go in to rescue them and Cole even gives Chuck a gun to go in.

Just as he's about to get Chuck, Cole dives in and saves him. However, just as the guy goes to shoot Cole, Chuck tries to save the day by going for the agent's legs and successfuly knocks him down. However, Chuck forgets to grab the gun and soon both of them are held up at gunpoint until Sarah comes in to save them both.
